there are more, that all relate to the improper colors, and video showing up in other applications, wherever there is black parts.

From any of those pages, you should be able to search and see more that relate. In one, there is even a link to the nvidia thread @ nv forums and the patch. (not sure if that is one i posted above or not, can't remember).

You're very optimistic if you believe they'll actually be doing something with 11.2 other critical security fixes. Your best bet is to use the libvdpau_trace hack.

Maybe im being optimistic, maybe i'm not. Maybe everything you are saying is just your opinion, fud or possibly fact. time will tell.

as for using that hack, that is a no-go for me. I can't pass 'export VDPAU_TRACE=1' in my session manager (Ladish), and i need ladish to keep my sound connection for firefox persistent in the graph. Ladish needs to hook into the executable, so using a script or passing export before the executable isn't going to work for me.

it's great that some nvidia dev made this patch, but it is absolutely stupid that they wouldn't fix it in flash, when it appears that they know exactly what is going wrong.

You'll be waiting for a loooooooong time then, as 11.2 is the last flash version we'll ever get. Future versions will be only for Chrome/Chromium.

That is all fine and handy, but as you said 11.2 is what i *will* get,... and being as 11.2 is somewhat broken, i am sure we will see another update or two to at least fix the color issue (as I am sure adobe didn't intend for 11.2 to have that mis-feature).

...and yes, i am fully aware of the status of Flash ~ as i read the original announcement to this, but that still doesn't change my original comment.... I will wait to upgrade until they release a stable 11.2 with proper/non-buggy/hw-accelerated update. In case you didn't read the announcement, Adobe plans to maintain 11.2 for something like 5 years.

By saying they will maintain it, that implies fix/repair issues. (as that is what 'maintenance' is).. they just won't add features, or release versions using the old API. But yes, you are correct, future versions of Flash will maintained by Google, and will use the new API.

I had the blue/green messed up color issue, as well. However, not all videos were affected, it was mainly just youtube. Some other videos that used flash, seemed to be color-correct.

Interestingly, i found two situations where i could actually see youtube videos in my H/W accelerated VMs in VMware. I should taken a screenshot, you could see parts on the video bleeding through the Guest's composited parts. In Flowcanvas (ie: Gladish, Patchage, Ingen) you could see the entire video placed behind the connetions/flowcanvas.

but only if firefox/browser/video was minimized. it was really odd.

anyway, i downgraded and will wait until there is a proper/non-buggy/hw-accelerated update.

"For users who cannot update to Flash Player 11.2.202.228, Adobe has developed a patched version of Flash Player 10.3, Flash Player 10.3.183.18, which can be downloaded here."

Performance of the 10.3.183.18 seems OK so far.But it is not in any Archlinux repositories and has to be installed manually:Extract the libflashplayer.so from the "... .linux.tar.gz" inside the "fp_10.3.183.18_archive.zip" to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

For example youtube is just a black screen. Right-clicking it just shows the normal firefox menu.]]>https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=42822012-03-28T21:41:16Zhttps://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1079185#p1079185sandstorm wrote:

I think I do not have hardware acceleration turned on. But anyway, how do I do this in nouveau driver?

Right click in a flash video and choose settings. Look for the flag with hardware acceleration and uncheck it.
